Coronavirus Statement

As we continue to move more positively through the current situation and are hopeful of things getting back to normal, sometime soon for everyone, there have been various guidelines given via both HSE & Resuscitation Council UK regarding Safety in First Aid Training setting

As per stated in both of the attached statements, we will follow all guidance given for the safety of both Trainers & delegates.

As HSE have given another update on certificate expiration giving leniency up until end of September 2020, this too takes some pressure off anyone due to or already expired on or after 16th March 2020, however we do still urge you to assess your situation very carefully and ensure there is ample First Aid cover for your business.

Whilst we understand there is & will be a degree of fear for some time to come in Training situations, we hope the below will ease your mind

We take the safety of delegates/employees/employers seriously

Although all delegates will still have to show competency in assessment of CPR compressions, they will not be required to perform mouth to mouth. This part of the CPR training will be demonstrated in depth by our Trainer

2m distancing will be adhered to at all times

Stringent hand sanitising & sanitising of manikins will be in place

Delegates will be required to wear gloves, aprons, face masks where necessary

We can supply PPE packs for delegates at a small cost

Critical Personal Protection Kit – Designed to protect healthcare workers who are within 1 metre of a patient with Coronavirus.

Worker/Employee Personal Protection Kit – Designed to protect employees who are in an environment where Coronavirus may be present.

Standard Personal Protection Kit – Designed to help prevent the spread of infection

We will ourselves mirror guidance and statements from HSE & Resus Council UK

Although at this point we ourselves cannot put ourselves or others at risk of cross contamination in the usual 12 to a classroom situation, we can offer smaller groups of essential worker onsite Training, to those who can provide suitably sized premises to adhere with 2m Guidance, with prior assessment information given.

We will also be offering a Training Course totally focused at COVID-19 & a deeper knowledge of the way forward, to help both Businesses & Employees Safeguard themselves
